Light WMs

hello all,

I have decided that I would be MUCH better off if I just put X and a light WM on my system... I was looking into Enlightenment, Fluxbox, &amp; Afterstep. I just don't know which one to use. So that is what I was wondering from you all.

What is your favorite light WM, not KDE nor GNOME? Keep in mind that I need something that will run nicely, and by nicely I mean FAST ;D, on a AMD K6-2 333MGhz laptop.

Maybe after I have gotten a bunch of responses a poll can be made to see who likes what the best for WMs.

Re:Light WMs

Well, I would suggest either Fluxbox or Enlightenment. Fluxbox is quite nice, no frills really, FAST and has 8) tabs 8) , Enlightenment seems to have a few more frill to it, and is also quite nice. E is more user friendly if you want GUI configuring methods. Also note, that once Enlightenment 0.17 comes out it should be quite a huge step, it will be a shell, not just a WM (or is it considered a DE?) but that's probably quite a ways off still.
